CG Community Question and Answers :

I've noticed that Yannihater has recently moved to this page, and I've been deleting his posts whenever necessary, but I believe I'm to blame for bringing him here. I told people on the Platinum page to come here for normal chats, and he may have seen it. However, since I believe I have created this problem, I'll try to solve it.

Since moderators do not have to power to ban quite yet, you must all control yourselves for the time-being. If Yannihater makes a post that you don't like, ignore it. Sure, you're probably thinking something along he lines of "It's not that easy, retard" or something like that, but, the truth is, it is easy. Once you start ignoring him, it gets a lot easier afterwards to do that. And you know what? Ignoring him is the number one rule when dealing with people like him. Don't feed the trolls. For those of you that are unfamiliar with this phrase, I'll explain. A troll is someone on the Internet who posts purposefully rude or otherwise unfriendly messages just to exploit the anger of everyone on the Internet. It's easy to hide behind the anonymity of the Internet. In this case, Yannihater is the troll. "Feeding the troll" refers to doing what the troll wants. It doesn't matter if you respond in the opposite way that the troll wanted; it's still a response, and that's what they are looking for. Just ignore them entirely, and their posts will eventually be noticed by a moderator. You can send a message to a moderator if you want a post deleted really soon if that's necessary. But still, since us moderators can't always be here to solve the problems, take it into your hands and solve it yourself, by not doing anything. This applies to all people experiencing Internet harassment, like the title said, and if you are still having trouble with the troll after these steps have been taken, please continue to do these things, but also report that person to zin'ya or someone who would report them to zin'ya.
